Dr Jones is a Welsh medium physiology and health lecturer at Cardiff’s Metropolitan University and has also done some television work, co-hosting the DNA Cymru show on S4C with Jason Mohammad and Beti George.

Speaking about becoming a dad last year, Ospreys skipper Jones said: “It changes your perception of everything – sometimes I’ll reflect that I’ve been stern with the people I work with.

“It makes a lot of things less important and other things more important.

“I’m making a conscious effort to be less cynical and try to enjoy rugby more. She’s made me more human.

“When you’re younger, when you’re not married and don’t have a child, you just crack on, but now I have a family I think I could have enjoyed it a little bit more.

“I don’t regret the way I approached things, because otherwise I wouldn’t have achieved what I did, but when I look back I could have enjoyed things more.

“I’ve got to make the most of it and enjoy as many firsts with the little one as I can for now.”
